Tillamook: Land of Many Obstructed Views of the Sign


Bennett and I took a day trip to the Oregon coast. It was so beautiful! We drove through Tillamook (land of the Tillamook cheese factory) to get to the coast.


This is the Cape Meare Lighthouse. Last year vandals shot out some of the panes of glass with a rifle. Due to the damage, they had to order a new lense (the red part) from somewhere in Europe.
When we arrived at Cape Meare (Bennett is standing just infront of the lighthouse in the picture below) there were whale watching signs and volunteers helping visitors spot whales. We didn't see any but next time we go, we'll bring our binoculars.


Yes, it was pretty cold there (hence my sweater, coat, hoodie and beanie) but we still took our shoes off and ran around in the waves.


How cold was it? Bennett's face will tell you.


Here's the "sexy" pose Bennett wanted me to do.


Here's another pose from me: (lame caption? I thought so but I don't know what else to write about)

I made Bennett do around 7 cartwheels on the beach so I could get his legs in the air. This is the best I could get:



We went on two hikes through the forest that meets up with the beach. This is probably one of the most beautiful places I've been. I can't wait to go in the summer time when everything is (more) green and less muddy.

We found this spot on our hike. Seriously, I found the place my spirit will be when I die. The sun came out (I haven't seen it for about three weeks now) and the ocean waves were crashing on the beach. It was so peaceful and beautiful. That's me in the corner of the picture.



Anyone wanna get a hold of me after I'm dead can meet me here.

It looks so beautiful! I love Tillamook cheese...they're all GF! Maybe we'll have to go to the beach when we come up.

Looks gorgeous! We just went yesterday and the sun shined for us too! Let's go some other cool places together.

That place is so pretty! Are we going there when I come up? Is it still going to be cold in a month?
